That’s unless you want to pay the £6.90 supplement to get extra bacon and cheese, of course.

And Craig Harker, who owns the George, has pledged to pay £500 towards a headstone for anyone who takes up his burger challenge and dies in the attempt.

Craig, 32, said: "This burger is absolutely stacked high with juicy meat from top to bottom - 60 oz of beef tipped with so much cheese and 25 bacon rashers.

"If people want, they can add a further dollop of liquid cheese over the whole dish, which - by the way - makes it even tastier.

"This burger will go down as bragging rights with friends, and I can see all the big eaters going for our Big Ben Number 10.

"With over 12,000 calories, the meal comes with a warning to eat at your own risk, but there's some compensation - if it kills you, we'll pay up to £500 for your headstone.

He went on:

"We are the meatiest pub in the UK, serving up dishes like the UK's biggest steak - at 220 oz - so it's fitting to open up with a new menu where the customer can pick a host of burgers with any number of patties, from one to 10.

"People can make up their own minds without having salad and healthy-eating fads rammed down their throats constantly."

To check it was doable in one go, Craig invited competitive eater Kyle Gibson to the pub in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, to give it a go.

Hungry Kyle, of YouTube channel Kyle V Food, completed the entire meal in an astonishing 21 minutes and 56 seconds, including the chips.
